Conditions of use for sealed cobalt 60 sources

Conditions of use specifications define suitable operating environments for sealed radioactive sources. There are minor differences between manufacturer’s specifications. The basis for these differences is explored and the results of recent water quality surveillance presented. It is concluded that the specifications are readily achievable and that gamma irradiation continues to be a safe and reliable technology.     

Optimal control of sources on some classes of functions

In this work, we investigate the problems of the control of sources’ motion and power, which influence the state of the objects described by partial differential equations. The functions defining the sources’ operation are taken from different classes of functions that are easy to implement from the technical point of view. For numerical solution to the problems considered, we obtain and validate formulae for the gradient of a target functional, which allow using first-order optimization methods, e.g. gradient projection method.

Two-pion interferometry for viscous hydrodynamic sources

The space-time evolution of the (1+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics with an initial quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is studied numerically. The particle-emitting sources undergo a crossover transition from the QGP to hadronic gas. We take into account a usual shear viscosity for the strongly coupled QGP as well as the bulk viscosity which increases significantly in the crossover region. The two-pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry for the viscous hydrodynamic sources is performed. The HBT analyses indicate that the viscosity effect on the two-pion HBT results is small if only the shear viscosity is taken into consideration in the calculations. The bulk viscosity leads to a larger transverse freeze-out configuration of the pion-emitting sources, and thus increases the transverse HBT radii. The results of the longitudinal HBT radius for the source with Bjorken longitudinal scaling are consistent with the experimental data.     

Conservation laws for a super G-J hierarchy with self-consistent sources

Based on a well known super Lie algebra, a super integrable system is presented. Then, the super G-J hierarchy with self-consistent sources are obtained. Furthermore, we establish the infinitely many conservation laws for the integrable super G-J hierarchy. The methods derived by us can be generalized to other nonlinear equations hierarchies with self-consistent sources.     

Two New Multi-component BKP Hierarchies

We firstly propose two kinds of new multi-component BKP （mcBKP） hierarchy based on the eigenfunction symmetry reduction and nonstandard reduction, respectively. The first one contains two types of BKP equation with self-consistent sources whose Lax representations are presented. The two mcBKP hierarchies both admit reductions to the k-constrained BKP hierarchy and to integrable （1＋1）-dimensional hierarchy with self-consistent sources, which include two types of SK equation with self-consistent sources and of hi-directional SK equations with self-consistent     

KdV Equation with Self-consistent Sources in Non-uniform Media

Two non-isospectral KdV equations with self-consistent sources are derived. Gauge transformation between the first non-isospectral KdV equation with self-consistent sources （corresponding to λt = -2aA） and its isospectral counterpart is given, from which exact solutions for the first non-isospectral KdV equation with self-consistent sources is easily listed. Besides, the soliton solutions for the two equations are obtained by means of Hirota＇s method and Wronskian technique, respectively. Meanwhile, the dynamical properties for these solutions are investigated.     

Rosochatius Deformed Soliton Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources

Integrable Rosochatius deformations of finite-dimensional integrable systems are generalized to the soliton hierarchy with self-consistent sources. The integrable Rosochatius deformations of the Kaup-Newell hierarchy with self-consistent sources, of the TD hierarchy with self-consistent sources, and of the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy with self-consistent sources, together with their Lax representations are presented.     

Radiative cooling of fullerene anions in a storage ring

Thermionic emission from hot fullerene anions, C_N ^-, has been measured in an electrostatic storage ring for even N values from 36 to 96. The decay is quenched by radiative cooling and hence the observations give information on the intensity of thermal radiation from fullerenes. The experiments are analysed by comparison with a simulation which includes the quantisation of photon energy and the statistics of emission. Experiments with heating of the molecules with a laser beam confirm the interpretation of the observations in terms of radiative cooling and give an independent estimate of the cooling rate for C₆₀ ^-. The measured cooling rates agree in general within a factor of two with the prediction from a classical dielectric model of a thermal radiation intensity of ∼ 300 eV/s for C₆₀ at 1 400 K, scaling approximately with the 6th power of the temperature and with the number of atoms in the molecule.

T-matrix method for electromagnetic scattering from scatterers with complex structure

We describe a T-matrix program for light scattering calculations from particles with complex structure. The code treats the cases of homogeneous, layered and composite scatterers. These results are combined with basic results concerning the scattering by inhomogeneous scatterers and aggregates to apply to more general types of scatterers. Some numerical simulations are presented.
